Executive Meddling: While Funimation was under no obligation to listen to the fandom's wishes to see the English dub have the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex voice actors reprise their roles, the decision to completely replace the cast in order to follow what Japan had done for their version was pretty much an order from Production I.G directly. That said, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn was still cast as major character Kurutsu for her efforts of trying.

Promoted Fanboy: Elizabeth Maxwell mentioned on her Twitter that she was happy to get the role of Motoko Kusanagi, having watched the original movies when she was growing up.

Star-Making Role: While Elizabeth was known to the English-speaking community for her role as Ymir in Attack on Titan, her role as the Major made her even more known to the public.

The Other Darrin: The entire voice cast of Section 9 was replaced. For the dub, Production I.G insisted that Funimation do it, despite what the fans wanted.
